Getting things done…in bizzaro land
Sometimes you can’t get done what you need to get done, but you need to get something done, so you do something you don’t need to do just to get something done. Today is one of those days.

Another trip around the sun
Today marks another trip I’ve made around the sun (outside of my mother’s womb anyway…did you know Koreans celebrate their birthday 9 months before they “emerge”? Fascinating…). I’ve done a lot of long posts here, so I’ll keep this one short. This past year has been a great one. Way more good than bad to…

I discovered Tom Woods recently from a Facebook fan page on homeschooling (he’s coming out with a pretty interesting history course for the Ron Paul curriculum) and subscribed to his podcast. I listened to a few episodes on the way to work today (nice that they are only 30 minutes long)…

Fool's news
Reading the news is a rather interesting venture on the first day of April. There are reports of Russia annexing Alaska, recipes posted about cooking eggs in urine and of course a whole bag of tricks from Google. I will admit that one of the links in the previous list actually got me. All of them…

Job creation (for my kids)
As a natural consequence of trying my best to lead an online marketing team as my day job, being generally interested in all things tech and just being a nice guy, I get asked quite often to help people with their websites. Sometimes its simply taking a look and making some suggestions, other times they…
